“With any kind of franchise like that, where you’ve had existing versions, there’s always that balance between what you’re going to bring forward, what still stands up, and what you want to add that’s new,” Booty explained. An MMO would be one such way to do this, but Fable 4 won’t go down that road.

In an interview with The Guardian, Microsoft head of studios Matt Booty noted that such MMO rumors stem from the idea that Fable 4 needs to do something new to the series to keep it fresh but not go too far off the beaten path. As such, we can expect it to be a game with a large world to explore yet with a strong single-player element to it welcome news for dedicated fans of Fable.

There had been some worry that as the game‘s trailer teased a large world, that it would be something in the vein of World of Warcraft.īut while there will be online elements, such as co-operative functionality or limited shared open spaces, the source behind the information told Windows Central that the game most definitely won’t be an MMO. The latest nugget information, not that Fable 4 is official, comes in the form of a developer insider noting that the game will be an open-world RPG, not a massively multiplayer online game. The leak detailed how Albion, the land of Fable, has been completely destroyed by an asteroid called down by a mad king who took control of The Spire, which Fable 2 fans will remember was something you needed to wrest control of from tyrant Lucien Fairfax. Then in 2019, a massive Fable 4 leak on Reddit popped up around E3 2019, though the game was never showcased. That studio seems to be Playground Games.
In 2018 Don Williamson, the former Lionhead lead engine programmer, tweeted that he knew of a studio working on Fable 4, though he has since deleted the tweet. Microsoft Fable trademark hints at Fable 4 (Image credit: USPTO) It’s looking likely that there will be a decent wait for Fable 4, but we’re open to being surprised. We’d suspect that Playground Games, the developer behind Forza Horizon 4, has been working on Fable 4 for some time and that it’s potentially mid-way through its development.
We’d hazard a guess that it will arrive sometime towards the end of this year or early 2022. But that game is likely years away, so we’re not sure Spencer’s comments mean a great deal. However, Spencer did note that Fable 4 will be out way before The Elder Scrolls 6. Since then, we’ve not heard a great deal abut Fable 4 through the grapevine, let alone official sources. But thanks to Herve Gengler, a senior games designer working on Fable 4 at Playground Games, we were given the impression that the game won’t be coming out for a couple of years. This isn’t hugely surprising given there was no game footage shown off. While the trailer of Fable 4 served its purpose to build up hype around the game, it looks like it’s still a long way off. Regardless, take this as a placeholder for future updates.įable 4 is going back to its swords and sorcery roots (Image credit: Microsoft) But we’d definitely expect an open-world game with an atmosphere that’s steeped in British dark fairy tale tone.Ĭheck out the debut trailer for Fable 4 below:īefore you rush to the comments to complain: no, we don’t know when Fable 4 is going to be released. The only Fable 4 trailer doesn’t given much away, though it could be in-engine footage, courtesy of the Xbox Series X’s power.
So that’s a strong indication that the ForzaTech engine, seen in Forza Horizon 4 and presumably the upcoming Forza Horizon 5, will underpin Fable 4 and the open-world setting it’s likely to have.

In other Fable 4-related news, Cyberpunk 2077 senior gameplay designer Paweł Kapała has joined Fable 4 developer Playground Games and will be responsible for “designing and implementing Combat in Fable.”įurthermore, a Turn10 Studios’ job posting from earlier this year was looking for a software engineer to work on the ForzaTech engine, with the job advert having noted that: “In addition to adding new features like raytracing to support the next console generation, we are also enriching the toolset to support an open world action RPG – Fable.” We’d be some what skeptical about the veracity of this leak, as Microsoft has Xbox Cloud Gaming, its own steaming services, and if Fable 4 is going to be streamed anywhere it’ll be on that. There’s not be much bubbling away on the Fable 4 rumors side of late, but the game was reportedly mentioned in a some Nvidia GeForce Now leaked information, in which Fable 4 was flagged as a potential title that could be put on the game streaming platform.
